This is also where we come in to tell you a little about the Do’s and Don’ts of Knife Play. Surely, this won’t be a hushed sex-ed class like the one at school where they don’t tell you more than half the things as we’ll help you make it as ‘Sane, Safe and Consensual’ as we can.
Safety Suggestions to take before Knife Play
Someone wise once rightfully said, ‘Wife, Life and Knife -Take care while handling them.’ And when it’s all together in one room, be sure to be even more careful. Whatever it is, Knife Play is no child’s play both literally and metaphorically. Before you jump right on to the kinks of it, make sure a few things before, while, and after your sexual rendezvous, as listed below:
-
Consent
One of the most important factors to take care of throughout the act is to ensure the Consent of your partner. More so, during knife play, you need to make sure that your partner is deriving only pleasure out of it and not even a hint of discomfort. Even during the play, keep asking assured questions like, Does it hurt? Are you afraid?, etc. to ensure their comfort at all times along with being aware of their body language at all times.
-
Safety Kit
Keep a well-equipped First aid kit with cotton balls, ointments and bandages within reach before you begin so that in case of any mishaps, you are able to provide quick first aid to the injured partner.
-
Psychological Triggers
Knife Play BDSM can sometimes also take the form of Fear play in the sense that one of the partners plays the victim. So, make sure to discuss the boundaries beforehand so that you don’t trigger your partner mentally during play. For example, drawing the knife along the throat could be your kink but could trigger your partner potentially.
-
Hygiene
Another thing that you should keep in mind is the hygiene part. Remember to clean the knives and yourself before and after the Knife play kink. Also, keep these knives exclusively for your sexual uses to maintain hygiene.
-
Movement of the Knife
Of course, you need to be careful with the knife while using it along your partner’s body. Keep a basic principle in mind never push the knife and always pull it towards yourself. For beginners, it is usually suggested that they use Credit Cards instead of knives in order to ensure safety while also maintaining the fun of the experience.
-
Safe Word
Have a safe word for when something gets out of bounds to signal the same so that the partner may stop. Sharing a safe word in bed is always recommended.
Techniques of Knife Play
We apologize if all the safety instructions ruined the fun for you but they are very important. Obviously, we don’t need to train you about the sexual behaviors and seduction part of the play as you must be well versed with your ways in bed, as a couple. If you have enough trust and communication to be experimenting sexually, all you need to know are a few techniques of Knife Play, as mentioned below, to enhance your experience:
-
Clothing Removal
Pull or cut away the Clothing depending on how you feel comfortable. Cut off the buttons or the fasteners in case of thick materials to ensure spontaneity and be especially mindful of consent while tearing clothes off. For the submissive partner, make sure to use replaceable clothing if you agree to tear them off.
-
Two-Handed Use
Once you are confident of your dexterity with the knife, you can use Two Knives during Knife Play BDSM so that it gives you the choice to place the knife at two different stimulation spots and make it even more fun and unpredictable. However, be mindful of the movement of your partner’s body, especially with Two knives.
-
Threatening Whisper
If your Knife Play is a form of Fear play, you can also add a threatening element by inflicting fear and using suggestive language, movements or words. Make the fantasy world effective and fearful enough to keep them guessing and into it throughout.
-
Butterfly Flourish
Another arrow in the quiver to spice things up is to villainously, flip open a butterfly knife during Knife Play. The intimidation can enhance the Fear play situation and add more range to the pleasure-seeking.

Blindfold and Bondage
Knife Play BDSM definitely raises the stakes and perks up the kink to a whole new level. When paired with Knife Play, bondage also acts as a safety measure to restrict movement while keeping the excitement alive by tying them up to the bed poles, tables, or whatever else is convenient. Before blindfolding, show them the knife that will be used to make them aware of what is going to be done.
-
Show the Blade
Keep transparency with the usage of the Knife and what kind of it is being used so that it doesn’t hit your partner as a complete surprise either. This also enhances Fear play if you show them the knife right before blindfolding them. Just be sure to not cause jerky movements in order to avoid injuries.
-
Blunt Impact
You can innovate with the Knife a bit by using the handle for a few of your kinks and give a lighter impact. Similarly, the flat of the knife can be used to spank the partner. In addition, for safety purposes, avoid using the sharper end of the blade while using it along sensitive areas. You can raise the intensity with your words or threaten to use the sharper blade but shift it to the blunt part while actually using it.
